Nice win,no doubt. Would like to see a few more of the easy ones go in like the open side Iginla missed today, a little more payoff for the effort . One more scorer so we could ease Thornton out and then someone would have to find something else to carp about

The odd thing is, Eriksson is not the problem. Yikes Nathan Horton had seven goals and 4 assists after 18 games last year. He was a streaky goal scorer, he had many a night off. Eriksson is playing off wing, adjusting to a new team and has 4 goals 6 assists after 18 games. He plays defense better than Horton. Put Yeti on the second line with Bergeron and watch. Erikkson and Yeti looked great on the power play today!

In response to Sobchack's comment:

Marchand looked like he was having a tough couple of shifts there... losing battles along the boards and not controlling the puck well

Marchy and Bergy are being dragged down by Eriksson; he doesn't belong on that line.

You'd better include Marchand in the "look in the mirror" conversation of that line.

There winning wouldn't mess with the lines,I think all the lines are playing good right now,there all getting great chances just need to start burying them.

@HackswithHaggs: Torey Krug received some treatment after the game, but said he was fine after blocking a Malhotra shot that hobbled him #BruinsTalk

sounds like he is OK. On a side note was anyone suprised the Bs were playing 3 forwards and 1 D in OT? Paid off nicely.

Not at all on the coaching side but when I saw that lonely D-Man skating all the way in the offensive zone -- behind the opponents net -- leaving all forwards back -- I definately got a bit antsy. All worked out in the end. Need a strong showing upcoming week -- Pens, Wings, Rangers and Jackets over a 6 day span. GO BRUINS.

When you settle for less you get less...this team could be 22-0 if all the right players would be playing , enough said and lets see if I will be right again = no win with the turtle in the line up

So by benching Thornton and bringing up a couple of your crushes from Providence you think the Bruins could have more than doubled the longest winning streak to start a season ever? Or that they could have shattered the all-time winning streak period? You're unbelievable somedays Stan, and not in a good way.

Zamboni, those were my thoughts exactly.

CJ may have felt he needed to do that with Krug unavailable and the Canes not being a threat offensively on the day.

Protecting the Swedes again I see. Eriksson is not finding open spots and not winning one on one battles. The Yeti is doing these things, there is your difference. Soderberg is creating so much offense on the 3rd line now it's ridiculous!

Yup....no doubt in my mind

Then your mind is a very bizarre place.

My goal as a GM would be to win the Stanley Cup, for the players, for the city of Boston but above all for the BRUINS fans accross the world...PERIOD

I'll try to see where you are. I'm going to be behind the players bench about 12 rows up. Should make for a good game. This will be a good test for both teams.
